The following categories of dangerous goods are exempt from certain provisions of the regulations: a. Transportation of fuel by road in slip tanks (tanks mounted in the bed of pick-up trucks) with a capacity of 454 litres or less is exempted from the general requirements of the regulations, except for the reporting requirements for spills and accidents in Part IX. However, the tank must be designed, constructed, filled and closed so that under normal conditions of transport there will be no leakage that could endanger public safety (sec 7.21(2) of the Regulations). In August of 2002 the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations were amended. Among the changes at that time was a new requirement to use a container that meets one of the Transport Canada Transport Dangerous Goods safety standards when transporting diesel fuel or fuel oil in a container of greater than 450L capacity. Along with that new requirement, existing non-standardized containers of over 450L capacity were grandfathered for continued use, under certain conditions, until the end of 2009. Starting 2010, the grandfathered non-standardized containers of over 450L capacity will no longer be acceptable for transport of fuel oil or diesel and only containers meeting the prescribed standards will be acceptable.
